Somehow, a user's NK2 file had a corrupt email address in it for somebody else in our company. Apparently, that corrupt address got synced up to the exchange server. We used NK2Edit to remove it from the user's local NK2 file, but the Exchange server's NK2 cache for that user is still corrupt. When he sends from OWA, the message bounces due to a bad address. Any suggestions/instructions for clearing the NK2 cache on the server side? <br /><br />Any/all help appreciated. <br /><br />RandyRandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03534661288329401916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3920347219421157797.post-15995286252572959292012-04-27T09:22:04.724-07:002012-04-27T09:22:04.724-07:00Not an IT guy...and this totally fixed my problem!...Not an IT guy...and this totally fixed my problem!<br />Thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3920347219421157797.post-36760662334425593982012-01-11T08:35:48.853-08:002012-01-11T08:35:48.853-08:00Anyone had problems with piecemeal migration to Ex...Anyone had problems with piecemeal migration to Exchange2010, where users still on the Exch2003 mailstores have NK2 EX entries referencing the 2003 Admin Group ?<br /><br />What can be done about it, other than<br />a] migrate faster !<br />b] edit every un-migrated user's NK2 file ?<br /><br />cheers<br />NickAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3920347219421157797.post-13694273090825141592012-01-11T08:33:06.519-08:002012-01-11T08:33:06.519-08:00Rob - you need to read more of the posts here.

Import the file to the Suggested Contacts in Outlook 2010 (or main contacts or full GAL). Then open a new email and put in the TO: section ALL contacts in the suggested contacts (or main contacts or full GAL). Then wihtout hitting send just close and don't save the unsent email. Then open a new email again and you'll see it worked.

Setup a client workstation, virtual or physical with Outlook 2007.<br /><br />2. Setup the users outlook profile on the workstation and copy the outlook.nk2 file containing the cached contacts to the right location.<br /><br />3. Close and reopen outlook 2007, verify the contacts cached contacts are working correctly.<br /><br />4. Upgrade Outlook 2007 to Outlook 2010 - you will need to download the beta copy.<br /><br />5. Once updated - verify the contacts are coming up under the Suggested Contacts section of the address book. It should look like this:<br /><br />http://clintboessen.blogspot.com/2009/09/outlook-2010-nk2-file-gone.htmlClint Boessenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11156487394562821934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3920347219421157797.post-57771987812643855842010-03-20T08:06:04.138-07:002010-03-20T08:06:04.138-07:00Clint,

Not sure why that made a difference.<br /><br /> Another thing I have found is if you have a person who is in the global address book, but is also in your personal contact list, the cache seems to only remember the personal contact information. So if I have Doe, John in the global book, and John, Doe in the personal contact list, the cache will never remember Doe, John, only John Doe. Hopefully Microsft will correct this problem in the future.Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18365804659789584411noreply@blogger.com
